"what does everyone want in their SUV's roofline?"

designers: can we work on the surfacing in this area for a few more weeks? the surfacing has to look absolutely perfect in every single view. even if that isn't physically possible. the surface is the most important thing, if it's wrong the whole car will look fucked.
